Discover Solo Steak Mojosongo, where a steak dinner costs an unbelievable 10,000 rupiah! This down-to-earth spot is a paradise for families, featuring a full indoor playground to keep kids entertained. While not a fine-dining experience, it delivers incredible value with its generous portions, especially the recommended Chicken Steak. It's the perfect destination for a budget-friendly meal, and you might even score a free set meal on your birthday or anniversary.
Friends, who gets it! I've been hanging around Solo lately, and a local friend told me about a steakhouse where a steak costs just over 10,000 rupiah?! (That's about 5 RMB...) At first, I was rolling my eyes so hard, thinking, is it even edible at that price? Anjay! I went with the mindset of "I have to see for myself just how bad it is," and the result... I kind of had to eat my words. 😂
Live from the Scene: Is This a Western Restaurant or a Kids' Playground?
The place is called Solo Steak Mojosongo, and don't expect a fancy Western restaurant environment. It's very down-to-earth, with regular seating and also Indonesian-style floor seating (Lesehan). The wildest part is, there's actually a children's play area inside the restaurant! It's fully equipped with a slide and building blocks[1], and a bunch of kids were going wild in there. Parents can finally Nongkrong in peace—it's a paradise for those with kids, isn't it!
The ordering process is pretty interesting too. You go to the entrance to grab a menu and an order sheet to write on, giving it a semi-self-service vibe[2]. I got straight to the point and ordered their most popular Chicken Steak[3]. When it arrived, the portion was quite generous, and the meat was thick, not like those other cheap tricks that are just a thin layer of flour. The meat wasn't dry, and served with veggies and fries, one portion is genuinely filling[4].
Real Talk: The Pros and Cons Are Equally Obvious
Okay, enough praise, let's get real. At this price, don't expect Michelin-star quality, okay? Personally, I think it's decent and worth the price. But I peeked at the Tenderloin Crispy Double[5] ordered by the table next to me, and the batter did look a bit thick. My friend also complained that the sauce was a bit one-dimensional, just sweet and savory[6].
Also, there are some flaws with the ambiance. It gets really hot when it's crowded during peak hours[7], and the overhead fans are a bit noisy[8]. I hope the owner can get them fixed. Oh, and if you order pasta, you might find that the plate is huge but there's just a small lump of pasta in the middle[9], kind of a reverse "Instagram vs. Reality" situation. 🤣
